I want to practice my drawing skills on a daily basis, but I lack the dedication and focus to actually pull through. So I figured it would be easier and more fun if some people joined in.
My idea:
Each day everyone posts something they drew/painted/sculpted(/etc) that day - the focus being on improving skills, not making art necessarily ;)
First round could be limited to one week, to see how things work out.

mega pooop
I'm trying to pin down which drawing subject is best to improve my perception of proportions. I guess sport cars are pretty good, since I care for the subject and sucked really hard drawing one.
The problem is that with most subjects my drawing ends up being satisfying to me although the proportions aren't really all that correct. Which makes it hard to focus on accuracy.
...Sketched the portrait last. It felt relaxing compared to drawing the Lamborghini.

Feels good to draw every day. :)

@Mo0oOöosh
Oh hands are a great subject too.
What's that at the top left?

I am still learning and only begun practicing life drawing last year. I have not done any lessons (would like to though) but instead I go to these life drawing session nights in the city on Mondays at a Pub. BYO materials and yeah, few hours to draw. :)

I always founds bikes difficult to draw, I used to automatically draw the tyres circular at what ever angle the bike was at. But I found out with practice they are more oval in appearance, but obviously it differs with the angle of the bike.

@Flubbles
I always thought your username was Flubbes until we did our collab. So there is another trickery of perception....kind of..not really :D
My idea of someone who can draw or paint is, that they can easily look past visual illusions(apart from these moving things). And bikes are a big buffet of those illusions.

@Moosh
If you look closely(or not just glimpse :D ) at my bike then it's actually pretty messed up.
I didn't start with the details yesterday so to prevent major mistakes. But still I had to warp everything all the time to make it fit. Then there were those empty spaces and I just scribbled some stuff in there....or spaces were missing. The usual mess...

Also so many sketches. I'm proud of you Moosh :P
I read about Frank Frazetta that he got a book on anatomy once and then returned it the next day because he copied everything in one night. But maybe he was just making stuff up. Who knows.

practice with feet. and doodles.
Im going to art school in a month and for some reason im just like "fuck...fuck drawing, im going to be drawing for the rest of my whole life and for the next four years...how bout not.."
but i did. for you moony.

@padmooks and shults- Yep, fuck it. Do what you want. People who can draw from imagination and still have it look awesome intimidate the crap out of me. Originality trumps copying photos any day. Well, to me at least. :] Like the poindexter sketch up there of padmooks'. Great stuff there.

Day 12
Haven't been drawing on the computer for ages. It's weird how much faster my hand starts to hurt when I use the tablet. Kinda sucks.
Had a look at a drawing I made of a Ferrari in 2002 and it's not that much worse compared to what I draw now. Kinda sucks, too.
I'll try out a different exercise method tomorrow.

@Flubbles
I draw really amateur*graffiti* stuff occasionally. The only time I actually went out spraying my piece ended up looking really really bad so I stick with paper/digital.
In graffiti and some cartoons I like how the shapes feel so dynamic and how even complex structures are held together in such visually pleasing ways. I like to think that I have at least some of that in my style and try to extend on that.

Nope, though it might be easier to make something interesting that way. I think I'd do a lot more of that stuff if I still had contact to these guys who were into all of that. Generally I need more exchange.

...running late with my sketches today. Can't decide between two things(reading book or drawing) so as usual end up doing neither of them for hours.

When I was a young kid my mam took me swimming sometimes, and because I was young she didn't want me getting changed in the mens changing rooms on my own. So I used to get changed in the womens changing rooms, luckily for me my mam didn't like swimming so I never had to see her nude. I seen plenty of other bush though.

Day 32Day 33Day 34Day 35
I'll continue to post batches, rather than daily. Felt a bit like spamming.
As you can see I've been doing a lot of 2 minute sketches and focused on one face in particular. Getting faster would be nice.

@Moosh Thanks. Nice drawings and haha at that gorilla ogling his female companion. Did you have "Aha" moments when doing these sketches?
